Comey is a traitor who should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

This was actually a very interesting video. Shame it’s just getting spammed by Billie Eilish fans instead.

  @Alex Diaz well it’s my opinion but I think he really is roasting president’s and doing that whether you like him or not,its in bad taste he’s doing that to a sitting president. That’s all.

@37:24 that’s actually inaccurate. Kenneth O’Donnell (Kevin Costner) was a real person and a close friend of John F. Kennedy who did advise him during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I don’t know what what they paid Brendan Gleeson to get inside 45’s head, but it wasn’t enough, and not just because he did a great job but because he had to get inside 45’s head. The very idea is enough to turn your stomach.

This dork is clearly a liberal. Vanity Fair is trying really hard in its own way to influence opinion and show they are against Trump, and its transparent and lame.

Bruce Greenwood, the only actor most known for playing the president, to the point that Matthew Vaughn trolled us in Kingsman: Golden Circle by casting Greenwood as an evil caricature of an anti-drug Republican willing to let millions die so he could say he won the War on Drugs.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
